The suggestion has brought out the Mlive posters for pitched battles on alternative energy vs. fossil fuels, tourism vs. lowering greenhouse gasses, Democrats vs. Republicans, right vs. left and good vs. evil. When you are talking wind farms — especially on the lakes — you're talking about a lot.

State Reps. Ray Franz, R-Onekama, and Jon Bumstead, R-Newaygo, have the full support of richard965:

Congratulations to these legislators who have the guts to stand up for
what is right!! How people can forget our most important industry -
tourism - is beyond belief.

I am a big fan of sustainable energy, but after a recent trip to Palm
Springs, CA, I am totally against littering the landscape with these
monsters. We couldn't even get a picture of the mountains without a row
of white pinwheels in the way. They are grotesque! And, I cannot, for
the life of me, figure out why naturalists would ever stand for them.
There must be a better way.
